I also got that message back as XDM started much sooner than expected (I set RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP to true). The error message appeared while X was initializing the graphics console. I think X might interact with splashutils some way. But it's really harmless.

well my problem remains. using unicode_start even spits this error without bootsplash activated. i've got my unicode_start in /etc/conf.d/local.start, so it's been started last and X is already up by then, which leads to a completely new errornous behaviour: my keystrokes are repeated indefinitly until i switch to another console an back. then this behavoir is gone. i've thrown away unicode_start as of now and everything seems to behave normally. i'm not even sure what unicode_start is supposed to do anyways.

Hmm - reading the Gentoo UTF-8 Guide I can't find anything about "unicode_start" ... I remember to read about it in the Wiki Howto but I'd stay with the official guide which does not even mention "unicode_start" ...

This problem still occures in my case, either I start /etc/init.d/consolefont or keymaps I get
